Update: I added the printable version of the tutorials for both projects

Hey Friends! It's Pink Cat Studio sneak peek day #2! Whoohoo. Today we're showing you samples of "Sweet Pea Plate 2". Okay, this stamp set is the cutest! I'm not kidding! Both "Dress Up Sweat Pea" and "Sweet Pea Plate 2" are going to be released tomorrow so be sure to stop by Pink Cat Studio and check them out!

For this stamp set, I'll be showing two samples and two tutorials! Yipee.

This first sample is a CD Holder Mini Album. I created it for my daughter. I'm going to download all her photos and put them on a CD.

All together the album has 4 flaps (front and back), all together you can add at least 6 photos like I did.

As you can see the pages open up and reveal the next page.

This photo shows the mini album completely opened with the CD at center.

I decorated the CD label by stamping the Pink Cat Studio Sweat Pea images. The title of the CD suppose to say "Sweet Alexis" but I was such in a rush to take a photo of the project that I forgot to add my daughter's name.

With the tutorial below, if you want to print it, click on the drop menu that is labeled "More". It'll give you the option to print or you may save the tutorial on to your computer.

You may view a full page of the tutorial by clicking on the icon to the very top right corner. It'll open up a new window with the tutorial. If you just want to enlarge directly on the blog, click on the + button or the magnifying glass! Anyway, try the tutorial out when you have a chance!

Mini Purse Accordion Pocket Album

Okay, here is the second project using the Sweet Pea Plate 2 stamp set. This project is a Mini Accordion Pocket Album Purse. I had created the tutorial a few months ago on my other blog site. Unfortunately, I had a problem uploading the tutorial on to Scripd like I did with the first tutorial so in the mean time, you may find the tutorial of this project by clicking the link above. My plan is to upload the tutorial here some time today so be sure to return for the printable version of the tutorial.

As you can see the album opens up to reveal 3 pockets. On one side I adhered designer paper and the other side, I stamped the Sweat Pea images.

Inside the pockets are inserts that you can decorate and add your photos and journaling. I'm planning to send this mini album to someone so I didn't add photos to the album

With the tutorial below, if you want to print it, click on the drop menu that is labeled "More". It'll give you the option to print or you may save the tutorial on to your computer.
